linen and cotton for underwear Is one Of
the cOmmOnest Of all errors in this coun-
try. Now in Germany we have q move
nent which Is called the German school
of clothing reform. 1t aims to replace
cotton and linen with wOolen goods.
There are many reasons why this should
be done. Wool exercises q stimulating
effect upon the skin, unlike linen and
cotton. and consequently promotes the
proper action of the pOSes, glands and
superficial tissues. 1t is noncOnductor
of heat and preserves the normal temper
ature Of the body. 1t allows freer es-
cape of the perspiratiOn, and thus lowers,
by evaporation, any abnormal tempera-

Of excessive heat. Also, through its nom

''Well, those certainly do seem to be
reasons enough"
Wool is electrical, while linen and cotton
are not. Wool can excite electricity, but
does not conduct it. Therefore q body
clothed in wool loses less of its ami
NAL electricity, while fresh electricity
is excited on the surface. The intimate
relationship between galvanic, nervous
and vital forces render this popularity II
the greatest importance to the wearer."
"Why doesn't every one wear wool

Because" answered the physician.
''the old idea of having something flumsy
and gauzy next to the nesh is too firmly
instilled in the minds Of the manufac-
turers of underwear for them to expert

incurable disorders by simply prescribing

much benefit, and its general adoption

T. L. Kimball, OF Omaha, received the
othG day from Ellsworth, Kss., speci-
mems of the rock slate that has recently
been discovered at that place. Some
months ago the Ellsworth mining COM
pany commenced to bore a hole in the
ground, and at a depth Of 73O feet struck
slate. They went through the vein and
found it to be 145 feet thick. At depth Of
1185 feet flow Of gas, that burns four
feet high above the ground, was inter
cepted and the boring stopped. With
this gas, which will furnish fuel for
power to mine the salt, the company
certainly has q great bonanza.

RECOLLECTION.

A when player. weary OF the day,
Takes Up his instrument and plays along.
First aimlessly, until unto some song,
Heard long ago, his fingers find their way
The old tune bringing memories which lay
Deep buried in the past, once glad and strong
He feels again those joys around him throns,
And weeps erewhile to think they cannot stay;
So !, O. a-weary with the passing hours,
In musng fell upon the name Of one,
Now dead and gone, who was once dear to me,
And recollections, sweet as summer showers,
Came back, swift as the first faint CLEANS that
